    Did Harden and Lil' Baby break up?

    Are you trying to say that KPJ is going to take Wall down brick by brick

    That explains all the drama in cleveland he had. Go talk to Lebron or Curry.

    I thought Silas was the one pushing for Stone to acquire him.

    Silas didnt know Porter.

    That Stone pushed Silas hard to watch his G League tape confirms that.

    But JBB trusted Lucas experiencing helping troubled players and also knew that Silas had a rep with developing young players.

    Do you REALLY believe Silas had right plan to play Porter as a back up?

    Curry aint nothing without a stacked team, only thing kpj can learn from curry, is how to get passes from the media for playing like crap and losing games

    Ahhh n kpj should come off the bench "right now" n this coming from a guy that was 100 percent for kjp being our next star...dude is young, having him come of the bench the rest of the season wouldn't even bother me. We have a long long time with him. Dont f this up trying to rush. People wanted kpj up from the g league like after 1 game. I didn't. U not winning anything this year. No need to rush the process.


    Long story short: just cause you want a young player to come off the bench foes not mean you don't think he is a future star lol.

    Alright enough is enough guys, I know I liked some posts about it and everything. But lets stop acting like Wall is the enemy man. He's a good dude who's just trying to get his career back. Blame Stone for trading for him too. We probably could have traded Westbrook way easier tbh.

    I have watched Wall since high school. He was an all time great prospect leaving high school because he was from one end of the court to the other ungodly fast. He also was very strong and was an explosive athlete. He had the physical tools to be a first ballot Hall of Famer... however everyone assumed he would learn to shoot and improve as a passer and floor general... it never really happened and right now Porter is a better POINT GUARD than Wall has ever been. Porter sees the floor better, is smarter and is a better passer.

    Wall and Porter can play together but Wall has a very high opinion of his ability and he he is over 30. He isn’t likely to change his game, that means that Porter will be the one that has to act like more of a facilitator and less of a shooter.

    Not that I am aware of, Stone was the one that pushed hard for Porter. Stone/Morey are also the ones that wanted Tate and Martin... Silas wanted Oladipo.

    It is a small sample size but I’ll take Stone’s talent evaluation over Silas’ so far.

    That team always had Harden who gave you a chance to win games.
